Weird old Avon bottles

I bought some old Avon aftershave today. They were two bucks a pop so I figured why not. They are weird display bottles. Attachment 181217 Attachment 181218 Attachment 181219 Attachment 181220 Attachment 181221 Attachment 181222

They make me think of the aftershave you got dad for Xmas; thinking it was the best ever made since it came in a crazy bottle

Avon was known for that. I think that was the main sales point. Most folks I knew spilled the contents down the drain and kept the bottles.

Most of the bottles I have seen the after shave has turned to turpentine. They had alot of unique bottles.

I'll take some better pics and put them up on that thread. The AS still smells useable, but I'll have to test it out to see if it works on me. Does anyone use or prefer avons aftershaves?

My very first aftershave was Wild Country. Can you imagine? A teenager in Italy wearing WC? And I had to move to Ottawa to learn about Proraso :rofl2:
Life's strange sometimes...Still, WC, is one of my favourites, but I must watch it. I tend to get a little heavy handed. Or is that even possible?

I also like Black Suede, the cologne, not so much the aftershave. Always brings back memories of Fall. And it pairs well with the shower gel.
I've been reading about Tai Winds. Once I can set aside the funds, I will look for that too.

Mesmerize is good too, but I think it smells too "young and trendy" on me, if that makes any sense...

Anyone else? What Avon product do you use?

Tai Winds is my favorite.

Picked up a few the other day but haven't tried them out yet. That is next on the to do list.

I've tried wild country and was not a fan unfortunately. This may, at some point, be shipped out for monthly contest prizes.

Those Avon bottles come up all the time at thrift stores here, I could have had 3 dozen different ones by now. I did finally try some new in the box Wild Country and the Island Spice. Not really my thing but some of the bottles are quite something.

Tried the Avon Bay Rum today and it was .............. Bay Rum alright. No complaints. The bottle was full and well stoppered so it kept well from 1982. It was made by the California Perfume Company.
